When buying your shoes at the thrift store always remember to check them thoroughly. Be sure to give them a good tug and make sure they're not coming apart. Check for any missing bows or lace. Make sure there aren't any marks that you won't be able to clean up.
You will come across many different shoe brands at the thrift store. These are not all created equal! Some brands sell great on E-bay while others, well, not so much.
Here are a few of my favorite brands to pick up when I'm thrifting for resale on E-bay.
- Born - This is a great brand for E-bay and I find them at my local thrift stores all the time. I mostly find Women's styles. Stick to the pairs that you know others would like and they will sell very well for you.
- Sofft - This is another brand that is pretty easy to come by and sell for good profits. You can usually pick a nice looking pair of these up for under $10 and re-sell for around $30.
- Dr. Marten's - Dr. Marten's is a great brand for E-bay. These shoes are usually pretty heavy so consider that when it comes to your shipping costs. hint: The pairs that are made in England sell better than the others.
- Allen Edmond's - I love when I can find a nice pair of these at the thrift stores because it usually means big profits. My biggest profit from a pair of shoes was a pair of Allen Edmond's Wingtips I picked up for $10 and after a bidding war they sold on E-bay for $150.
There are many other brands that also sell on E-bay, and some brands that you need to stay away from. Sometimes it depends on the style of the shoe or the price of which you can pick them up. I recommend checking out Thrift Store Goldmines for a more detailed look into what brands are selling right now on E-bay.
Don't waste your time and money experimenting for yourself when you can profit off of other peoples success that have already done that work for you! If you know what shoes and brands to look for to resell on E-bay you'll be making bigger profits for less work!
